    OK, people - it's vote-rigging time again.
    The BBC are at it again - this time however they're asking everyone to vote for their favourite song of all time. So obviously we're going to try and mess it up for them. Go to the website
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/us/features/topten/ and enter your details.

    In the boxes for Favourite song and Artist add the following:

    Artist : Wolfe Tones
    Song : A Nation Once Again
    Why : 800 years of oppression is why!

    ** Currently, it's just outside the Top Ten, so get voting, and pass it along to everyone you know...**

    I love the quoat when you roll over the map of europe as we in Europe have voted for A Nation Once Again

    "Just Listen And You will understand"

    And I though the british got sarcasism.

    Went back to the site and it now says possible contenders "Wolfe Tones", deadly weve made and impact!

    A likely top ten

    John Lennon - Imagine
    Robbie Williams - Angel
    Queen - Brighton Rock er I mean Bohemian Raspberry
    Band-Aid - Do They Know Its Christmas
    Simon and Garfunkle - Bridge Over Troubled Water
    Don McLean - American Pie
    Led Zeppelin - Starway To Heaven (dark horse)
    Elton John - Candle in the Wind '97

    Stuck for the last two, any suggestions?

    Mike.

    Just after voting. But are they taking the piss. Mariah Carey and Cher in the top ten. What are the English like?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 70 ✭✭corkviewer


    It will probably be some asian song anyway - lets face it who else lsitens to the world service? I'd say in the final tally the wolf tones might be removed from the chart

    I'd say in the final tally the wolf tones might be removed from the chart

    As its now an open secret whats going on, then I'd say every vote for A nation Once Again will be discounted.

    Mike.

    Look The Wolftones are ****. There not even a proper rebel band. They refused to play in Northern Ireland during the troubles. A bunch of pussies. You should have all voted for proper Irish bands like Rory Gallagher (I voted for him), Thin Lizzy, The Frames and so on.

    I gather this is over...

    thread locked, it annoys me.
